It's not as complicated as you may think. Just post the lyrics to a song that describes what you're feeling at that moment.

Sentenced - 'Home In Despair'

Again the sky has fallen down on me
Once more the world has crumbled down and over me

And yet in some twisted way, I enjoy my misery
And in some strange way, I have grown together with my agony

I feel home in despair for I dwell in grief
And I feel home where the air's too thick to breathe
And I feel home anywhere human lives are going down the drain

For as long as I remember, life has been hard
I guess they have "misery" written somewhere in my stars

For I have mourned for so damn long that I've forgotten what it was for
Everything has gone so wrong, that I really couldn't think of anything more

I feel home in despair for I dwell in grief
And I feel home where the air's too thick to breathe
And I feel home anywhere the light of day is drowned in heavy rain

Yet I know the worst is still to come...

Tori Amos "Northern Lad"

Had a northern lad, well not exactly had.
He moved like the sunset, God who painted that.
First he loved my accent. How his knees could bend.
I thought we'd be okay, me and my molasses.
But I feel something is wrong? But I feel this cake just isn't done.

And don't say that you don't.
And if you could see me now, said if you could see me now.
Girls you've got to know when it's time to turn the page.
Or when you're only wet because of all the rain.
Because of... because of... all the rain, because of...

He don't show much these days, it's gets so fucking cold.
I loved his secret places but I can't go anymore.
"You change like sugar cane," says my northern lad.
I guess you go too far when pianos try to be guitars.
I feel the West in you, but I, I feel it falling apart too.

And don't say that you don't.
And if you could see me now... Said if you could see me now.
Girls you've got to know when it's time to turn the page.
Or when you're only wet because of all the rain.
Or when you're only wet because of all the rain.
Because? of, because of... of the rain, because of...
Because of... of all the rain, because? of... the... rain...

Crying or Very sad

that pretty much sums it up...

Entwine - Time Of Despair

"Eternal is the pain that you gave me.
Lonely roses wither and die.
These tears of mine stain your veil.
I'm forced to hide and fade away.
So soon the time will come.
Take my life and bring me to the ground.

In this Time of Despair.
When all that you love is dead.
It's my desireless game to be alive.

It's a heart f stone that beats inside.
I'm forced to climb over the walls.
Stillness falls upon this endless night.

In this Time of Despair.
When all that you love is dead.
It's my desireless game to be alive.
I'm trying to get well.
But I'm just cryin' for the end.
It's my desireless way to be alive.

Eternal is the pain that you gave me.
Lonely roses wither and die.

In this Time of Despair.
When all that you love is dead.
It's my desireless game to be alive.
I'm trying to get well.
And no more cryin' for the end.
A desireless way to be alive."

That's exactly how I'm feeling at the moment... Crying or Very sad

This isn't a song lyric but a poem. I've always identified with it.

Tomorrow by Ann Christie

I think tomorrow I will not live up to expectations.
Tomorrow I will not respond well to others.
Tomorrow I will not smile at the crossing guard.
Tomorrow I will not return polite hello's.
Tomorrow I won't participate in class.
I won't even put my name on my papers.
Tomorrow I will not win or blend in or become enriched
Or get involved.
Tomorrow I will not care about my future.
Tomorrow I will not argue, shout, or stomp my feet.
Tomorrow I will not 'sit down and be quiet.'
Tomorrow, second best will do just fine.
Tomorrow I won't raise my hand, even
If the teacher is wrong and I can prove it.

Tomorrow I might eat paste in art class.
I'll slam every door I walk through.
I'll come out from the woodwork,
I'll make noise, I'll rock the boat.
I'll stroll into class five minutes after the bell.
I don't think I'll brush my hair tomorrow.

I deserve a day off.

Katatonia - Clean Today(the only positive song from that band)

All the white lights falling
The blue lights are falling
night is warm
came down with a promise
i have my best shirt on
i lower myself now
it is a way to forget
of last year failure

Will the streelights reflect me well enough
Am i transparent when i am clean
Will the darkness around me be so strong
that there is no way i can be seen

Boys we will became
heroes of this night
or am i just happy
whenever not sober
i cleaned myself well
clean today

and when i pause for a breath
i see millions like me

i was playing keys and I played some old finnish song, and I felt that the lyrics where like about myself. this is in finnish so only i guess one of you can understand this... and I remember only few sentences, i don't even know what this song is called...

"...me viisitoistakesäisiä oltiin kumpikin,
sinä pidit oman pääsi, säädit itse elämääsi
teit nuorena sen kaiken mistä turhaan haaveilin..."

but i don't know who's the other person in this song... but i guess only minca understands this text.

Evanescence - 'Breathe No More'

I've been looking in the mirror for so long
That I've come to believe my soul's on the other side
All the little pieces falling shatter
Shards of me too sharp to put back together
Too small to matter, but big enough to cut me into so many little pieces

If I try to touch her and I bleed
I bleed, and I breathe no more

Take a breath and I try to draw from my spirit's well
Yet again you refuse to drink like a stubborn child
Lie to me, convince me that I've been sick forever
And all of this will make sense when I get better
I know the difference between myself and my reflection
I just can't help but to wonder, which of us do you love?

So I bleed, I bleed
And I breathe no more...

Sentenced: Broken

"I have come a long way where I started from
but I'm still not even close to where I'm going
(and now) I can no longer see the shine
that has been lighting up my way
I cannot feel its glowing

The fire in my heart is dying
and the zeal I had is gone

This path that I've chosen's a rocky one
Long, hard and frozen it has become
Each turn that I've taken on the way
has only led me back to Hell
I am dying down… growing weaker now
It could seem that I'm doing fine
but I'm broken to little pieces deep inside

Why did I ever choose to go this way
The question I keep asking myself all the time
I guess it was my instinct for self-destruction
that pointed me down this way

The fire in my eyes is dying
and the dream I had is gone

This path that I've chosen's a rocky one
Long, hard and frozen it has become
Each turn that I've taken on the way
has only led me back to Hell
I am dying down… growing weaker now
It could seem that I'm doing fine
but I'm broken to little pieces deep inside"

Icon and the Black Roses "Remember"

Now you’re awake
Are you please with your pain ?
And I’m watching, smiling
With hatred comes hatred and your lips now taste it my coldest kiss

And I’d bet my life on this

You are crying for help, you try to reach out for my hand but I wont be there,
‘Cause I dont care and I’m leaving you to drown in tears

Recall your fears, now they become tears, remember I once needed you

- despite the occasional bit of poor grammar, i really like this cd - and this song really fits my mood today.
